As much as I live the sort of oddbird, thrifty NYC lifestyle that draws readers to my blog, I’ve so little featured it on NY Nomads.

And so in taking a break to pursue some contracted work, while also growing more attuned to a new full-time job, I’ve been thinking as to how to make this a blog that is as helpful as it is a personal diary. So you’ll soon be reading more articles about what it is like living like a year-round petsitter, how we make living in Sandy’s office work in between petsits, and how we come to enjoy life in NYC and abroad on a shoestring budget. It will be a more honest eep dive into the pros and cons of assuming such a lifestyle, because living this way is not always an easy commitment.

We are Jen and Sandy, professional nomads in New York City. We live off the urban land and document our findings along the way. We pay no rent, no utilities, and live sustainably off $100/week. Read more about us here.
